Coughlin began working with H2O Audio in October '07 as its new swim gear design and development advisor and has just completed her first swim and fitness workout program for iTrain. The product is now available as an mp3 download for swimmers.
"Having a great coach (such as Teri McKeever) to help focus and motivate me has provided an enormous inspiration throughout my career. I have always thought it would be great to provide an affordable personal trainer to swimmers where they need it most, right in the water," said Natalie Coughlin. "Working with iTrain and leveraging H2O Audio's swim gear, I have been able to help produce a training program that will challenge and motivate swimmers and cross-training athletes of nearly all levels."
As part of this new work-out program, the company and she have designed a new swim bundle, the Natalie Coughlin Swim Bundle, that provides in water access to the new iTrain Swim Workout:
- The H3 high-performance waterproof headphones
- iN3 waterproof case for Apple® iPod® nano gen 3
- An iN3 swim belt
"Natalie is a phenomenal athlete and coach," said Grace Lazenby, President and co-founder of iTrain. "Working with her we are able to deliver the best swim fitness program available and leveraging H2O Audio's gear we are able to put a personal trainer right in the pool with you. Our content system provides access to the very latest techniques and coaching insights in a constantly renewable format. Using music and top performance know-how applied in a digital medium our workouts never become dull or tedious."
"Natalie is synonymous with swimming. When she is not competing, setting and resetting world records, she is working as a coach," said Kristian Rauhala, CEO of H2O Audio. "Her experience and insight are exactly what we wanted to provide to the millions of swimmers throughout the world. iTrain has put together a phenomenal workout program that captures Natalie's passion and when you combine that with our performance swim gear, I truly believe the result is a revolutionary way to train".
